Should I be concerned about mounting a transponder antenna near fuel lines/fittings?

Good question.
Don't have an answer but would also like to know if the transponder needs
some backing reinforcement or just mount it to the belly skin?

No worry about where you mount it, but re-enforcement is dependent on which antenna you use, where it is at, skin thickness, etc...
Cheers,

TED transponder on bottom belly skin of RV7. Probably 032 thick, maybe 040.

Assuming you have a metal plane mount it to the skin on the bottom of the
fuselage. Remember as with all antennae cleanliness counts! Lock washers do
help make a good connection to the skin but it is always better to have the
area directly under the antenna, on both sides shiny clean before
installing.
